This study is on the figure and , also commonly called the 'Strange
Woman' in Proverbs 1-9. It is an attempt to understand the meaning
which defines her, and the origin and development of her motif. The
first part argues against defining her as a sexual predator, but as
an ethnic foreigner according to the lexical studies of and . It
traces her origin within the Hebrew scripture, the legal documents
and especially to the DtrH's portrayal of foreign women/wives.
Hence, it distinguishes the two motifs: the motif of the adulteress
and the motif of the foreign woman; the latter, which symbolizes
the temptation to apostasy. The study will then go on to explain
how the writer of Proverbs 1-9 employs this motif of the foreign
woman in his poetic composition. The second part tracks the
development of this motif through the subsequent Jewish Wisdom
literature and observes how it changes and loses the 'foreignness'
of her original motif in Eccl. 7:26; 4Q184; LXX Proverbs; Hebrew
Ben Sira; Greek Ben Sira; and finally disappears in Wisdom of
Solomon. It proffers to understand this gradual transformation
against a background of social and religious change.
